I've seen 2 different Nexus 5 units here in Canada (at Virgin Mobile kiosks) and in both cases the colors were accurate and very good, though the

whites are a slight bit on the yellowish/warm side. Compared to an iPhone 5S, the whites on the 5S are brighter and cooler.

Well, the good news is that franco kernel is well under development (according to the original nexus development thread) and once it's complete, we should be able to use his app (Display Control) to calibrate the screen if we want to.

i think comparing the Z1 to N5 isnt fair anyway.

So what if the screen on the N5 is technically better? I've used both and...i didnt think the Z1 screen was that bad really. And viewing angles?

How many people use a personal device tilted to the sides? Most people are going to be looking straight at the thing when they're using it, 100% for me, it's a personal device and i'd be rather happy if others couldnt see whats on the screen.

And also "the Xperia Z1, a £450+ phone which only got released recently, and the screen on that is meant to be an improvement on its predecessor the Z1, I feel sorry for the people who bought that O.O"

really.

Feel sorry for the people who bought a very solid and well build phone?

Feel sorry for the people who dont have rattling buttons?

Feel sorry for the people who can happily drop it down a toilet and still have a functioning phone?

Feel sorry for the people who have a camera that's superbly better than the nexus 5?

Well done there mate.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] keratos:
I can't recall where I saw on these forums but....

The Xperia Ultra rom exploits all seem to use vroot. However vroot had been found ti be sending IMEI numbers back to China. Nice

But given that hamdogg. Et.Al have used vroot in ROMS they have released, who feels worried?

Is there another root exploit you are using?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
vroot is not working any more.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] keratos:
Not quite what I was asking
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
You are safe with a custom ROM. They don't use any tool... don't need to.

- With a rooted ROM, it flashes the superuser or superSU app, and applies the appropriate binaries and permissions directly to the ROM system.

But... to get a recovery flashed onto your system, you'll need to use vROOT or a similar tool, as it will need root access to apply the recovery script, and flash recovery. So.. you must have already used such a tool to originally root your device...

Two Important Points here:

- The app/s only "MAY" have your IMEI numbers stored. I say may, because all we currently know is that the IMEI numbers were read, we don't know for sure if they have been stored anywhere.

- If the app/s continues to send information [we currently don't know this yet] then it would be better to have a custom ROM. As it will clear your device of all app data and have ROOT access. This is only if you want to have a rooted device.

Hope that clears things.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
You don't need root access to flash a custom recovery. You can just flash from fastboot. You can use the original recovery found here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2426736

You need an unlocked bootloader though. Also you need to remember to flash your normal kernel back afterwards, although that will be done automatically if you flash a custom rom from recovery,
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
Urm... You need to be rooted to unlock boot loader don't you?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I want to say no?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
****, I'm getting everything wrong at the moment, my brains gone weird.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
No, but you do need to be rooted to backup your TA Partition.

Thats the trade off. If you unlock without first having root you can't restore TA and the DRM at a later date.

I rooted with Vroot and backed up mine, but I would have unlocked the bootloader regardless if I had too. Not missed any off the DRM tools at all.

So I have one line on our family plan for my mom with an LG P500 Unlocked. It is an unknown device to AT&T and I have been using it with a data block on the line for almost 1 1/2 years now. I want to upgrade her phone to something better, 4.5inch or bigger higher-res screen, late 2011 or newer device that can run a Jelly Bean rom.. Any suggestions for phones not flagged by AT&T for a data plan requirement? She has no need for Data or MediaNet, and I am keeping the line with a data block.

Please let me know,

Thanks.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yomper:
Hi Guys,

I have just received my nexus 5 yesterday. In my excitement, i have been playing with it non-stop until it ran out of battery and shut down.

I have read somewhere that we should try to charge the battery as soon as you can and should try not to fully discharge the battery to zero.

Have my actions alrdy caused damage to my nexus 5 battery?

Lastly, while charging it for the first time, i accidentally offed the switch and disrupted the charging, will this have any effects on the battery life as well?

I am sorry if these sounds ridiculous, this is my first smartphone and i will rly want to know all about it.

Thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamiewheeler123:
Hi everyone, its my first post here so please be gentle with me. :)

Basically i have a LG E400 and have had some problems with it recently so i had to flash a ROM to it to unbrick it. Version 'V10L_00 KDZ'. Now i have a few issues. The main being that i cant root it with every option that iv tried including superoneclick etc.

My guess is the ROM i downloaded isnt that stable hence the failing of the rooting etc, so even a completely stable stock ROM might be of use...

The other problem is that i would ideally like to upgrade the firmware to ICS but cant find a KDZ anywere (iv looked through this site continuously for the past few days) it has to be a KDZ because i also cant install CWM for a custom recovery to flash from SD card, so i have to use KDZ flasher.

And the last is a problem with memory, it has around 100mb of free 'system memory' after the OS has eaten most of it, plus it has 1gb 'internal memory, plus a space fo an SD card. I have tried to partition the internal memory and use it as a SD card, like many tutorial tell you to do so via mini tool partition wizard but it doesnt work, the phone always asks to reformat it and then it goes back to how it was.. So has anybody sucsessfully partitioned the internal memory (not system memory) without using on SD card????

If someone could solve those problems for me i would probably make them a cake.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkore:
Flash The Latest V10G with KDZ Flasher then root your device using Superoneclick 1.7 (don't forget to use rageagaintthecage option). Install Clockworkmod Recovery And Flash the Rom (Optimus 1.3) it's the most stable rom.

Has it been something that's been thought of doing on this phone??
[HTC Incredible S] drumsteppin:
well it would be kind of pointless as it would just be two versions of android. also, the system ROM is somewhere around 500mb i think, so you couldnt fit two roms on there to boot anyway, unless it was like two very light aosp builds...

i mean if you were to dual boot android and ubuntu phone it would be slightly less pointless but still impractical

~just my two cents worth anyway
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moot1:
I'm getting an update request to update my firmware. But before I go ahead and do that, I want to make sure updating won't make it harder for me to root and use custom roms in the future.

Is there a way to turn of the reminders? I'm getting daily reminders to update....

Thanks!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haza12d:
I don't think there's a way to do it if you're stock. If it's the MJ7 update, you can still have root and install SafeStrap. I would go ahead and root now. ;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moot1:
Thanks for the response. I'm waiting for confirmation that the 1 click root methods aren't malware. I'm also hesitant to root at the moment, since I already have so much data on my phone, and don't want to loose it after the root. I realize by putting it off, I'm just making it worse for myself. :(

In the mean time, I was hoping I could just disable that notification. It's so annoying! Arghh, I hate Touchwiz sometimes.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m_010411:
Hi,

most of the time, I'm using my phone for listening to music, and since I own Galaxy S4 Mini (GT-I9195), I'm thinking about throwing my 320€ worth smartphone in trash. Mostly I'm listening to rock music where basses are very important. When I was using stock firmware, everytime I increased the bass level, the music volume diminished. It came so far, that when I was traveling from work to home by bus, I could hear what people around me were talking to, even though my volume level was on 100%. Then I somehow increased the volume of my phone (I found a thread how to do that here on xda), but then the next problem became annoying. Almost every time I skipped the song, the equalizer settings went back to default. So every time i had to press menu button --> settings --> equalizer, and then basses went back to normal. Sometimes equalizer doesn't work at all, until I reboot my phone.

So I tried with Cyanogenmod today, and I'm even more disappointed with music quality. Every time I try to turn on bass boost, the music starts to crackle, even though bass level is only on slight. I'm using 120€ worth Sony headphones, which work great on any other device, so the problem definitely isn't in headphones.

Does anyone deal with the same problem? I just don't know what to do anymore ...

Thanks in advance & sorry for bad English.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kuhan_Vinček:
Hello there.

First off, if you are going to throw S4 mini into trash, you can instead send it to me and I'll pay for the delivery, as I simply love the phone.

Secondly, I think the problem is you and not the phone. I have S4 mini and I love listening to music. As anyone who loves music (proffesionaly or unproffesionaly) knows, basses ARE NOT THE ONLY (and most) important thing, even in rock music. And as far as basses goes S4 mini does a very good job, as it does in other spectrums of music playback. The volume decreases a bit if you set it to bass, because the equalizer decreases the treble value, thus you get the perception of decreased laudnes. Although I would recommend you get your hearing checked, as the laudness of S4 mini seems to be laud enough for others.

If you really like to listen to high quality music and are a true audiophile, than you wouln't be listening to the music on S4 mini on the first place, but would go for a high quality professional grade mp3 (or FLAC) player with an external amplifier.

Therefore I conclude that you are just a bass freak who wants to complain, but please feel free to prove me wrong. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiningb:
My opinion and advice may not matter since I don't own a s4 mini (would love to have it)

But did you tried sound alive from Samsung?

Just increase the bass and some clarity then reverb and room size (if you like) then the bass is on a good level, wanting more bass than that would only get in the way of the guitars part!!

Or try viper4android if you're on a desperate situation...

Can I ask something here?? Is the smart volume feature any good??
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m_010411:
[MENTION=5090630]Shiningb[/MENTION]

Firstly, thanks for your answer. I realized that everything works perfectly with stock Samsung Music app (which doesn't use build-in equalizer, but uses it's own one). The quality of sound is really great.

Only problem is that I prefer Google Play Music which is much clearer, easyer to navigate and overall has nicer interface. But there I deal with equalizer problem; the sound is great at the moment, the equalizer is set the way I want, basses are great, but then suddenly (without particual reason) equalizer just goes flat and the volume increases for about 30% rapidly which is a great way to go deaf. Then I have to restart equalizer app, and it starts working normally again for about next 10 minutes. Until I won't find the solution, I have to use stock music app, ok, i can get along with this :)

I googled about the issue and I found that it is quite common with S4 users. I heard about ViPER4Android today, and I'm going to try it right now, thaniks for your advice !

And sorry, I don't know if smart volume feature works good, I use mp3gain app on my PC which equalizes volumes of all tracks on the same level and works perfectly.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiningb:
This happens with equalizer because the system kills it from the ram

So a great solution is to use viper...

But you need root and put the apk of viper into system/app set permissions to rw-r-r

Like this it won't be killed, because it will make part of the system app

By the way what kind of music do you hear??

I'm a sound freak with viper, I tunr things like crazy until I reach the perfect sound (for a time!)

I really wanted to know how the smart volume works since the I9070 won't have a official 4.2.2 update :'(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m_010411:
Thanks for fast answer.

I installed ViPER4Android, but everything I try to change, doesn't have any effect on sound. I don't know what is wrong ...

Could you help me with Viper? I know how to put a file in system/app and set permissions.

My phone is rooted I'm using CWM and stock android from Samsung.

My favorite artists are 30 Seconds to Mars, Billy Idol, Bring me the Horizon, Foo Fighters, HIM, Kings of Leon, Oasis, RHCP, etc.

Sry, probably really won't. I owned I9000 before I9195 and it was the best phone i ever had, even better with Cyanogenmod ;)

The nav bar at the bottom overlaps half of the dock of next launcher which makes the dock completely unusable and ugly.. the same problem persist in 50% of the other apps notably go sms, quick pic, go launchers and many others..

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terryweiss:
There may be no help for me on this, but I have a real tolerance for punishment.

I am having a frustrating time with my Kindle (Otter1). After updating to CM10.1, I started having weird problems: No browser is stable (Browser, Chrome, Maxthon, UC, Dolphin, FF, Opera). Any page more complicated than Wikipedia with crash the browser regularly - completely removed from memory, goes back to home screen. If I have a live wallpaper, it will then disappear after the browser crashes. Most of the time, it will crash on flipup or down, but sometimes it just seems to give up on its own and commit suicide.

I started trying different ROMs thinking that maybe CM10.1 just had some weirdness. I have been through Kang, Hellfire, AOKP, and Carbon. All exhibit the same behavior. I have wiped, wiped, wiped, wiped. Including formatting SD and started from a pristine device. The result? Browser self immolation. I have looked at each ROMs readmes. I have waited 10 minutes, 20 minutes, even 30 minutes in a fit of pique and patience.

I have also install a build.prop editor and turned HW acceleration off. I have reduced the number of simultaneous graphic events and I have reduced flip velocity. None made a difference.

I have TWRP and FFF. the latest ROM is Hellfire 8/13. I also have a desperate need for advice! Any suggestions?

Hi guys, managed to get hold of a Oppo N1 running on Color ROM Android 4.2.2

Here is a slightly long unboxing and overview of the package

[Oppo N1] Kevinik:
What's the big secret why the N1 don't have LTE?
[Oppo N1] Allanitomwesh:
International bands are a mess, China's band is their own unique one.
[Oppo N1] Entropy512:
Oppo is a small company, and until their international marketshare is bigger it is difficult to justify more than 2 variants (China and "rest of the world")

While the Nexus 5 made progress towards global LTE in a single device, it is still not possible to do so.

TL;DR - 5 HSPA+ bands in a single device can support nearly the entire planet, 9 LTE bands in a single device is still not enough.

Plus HSPA+ (especially DC-HSPA+) is no slouch. Most of the "it has no LTE! it sucks!" complainers are Verizon customers whose non-LTE service topped out at something like 4 Mbps.
[Oppo N1] p51d007:
No LTE isn't a deal breaker for me anyhow. None of my previous devices had LTE, I don't use much in the way of data per month (less than

2GB). LTE in my area, from what I hear my friends complaining about, isn't that fast, and I get enough via wi-fi on the odd time I'm watching

a video.

What will sway me is the price, the build quality, sound quality of the phone (I'm one of those it seems to be rare birds that uses around

1500 minutes per month as a PHONE), how well bluetooth works, and the camera. I use the camera almost daily.
[Oppo N1] marcotara:
I am one of the 10 OPPO n1 pioneers and I have been using the phone for 10 days. The mechanical quality is outstanding and ColorOS is definitely smooth.

[Oppo N1] Harfainx:
What are you on now? I went from 3574 (or 3589, don't remember which I flashed last) and downloaded a patch for 3706, but I had to edit it myself to get it to flash. It won't flash as-is when pulled from the server.

3574 is the last official build released to the pioneers and 3589 is the last full wipe build posted. 3589 really isn't worth flashing though.

I could put together a patch for you if you'd like. 3706 is a relatively small update (something like 17MB zipped), but it does include a few changes to the camera. I haven't really had too much time to test out what they changed/fixed though.
[Oppo N1] marcotara:
I'm on 3574 now, I came back from 3589 too. If it is not taking too much of your time I would like to test the new camera features!
